Programming the remote control for use with
your audio/video devices
Device code setup
1. Refer to the Device code table on pages 16–19 to find the code
for the brand of your device.
If more than one code is listed, try each one separately until you
find the one that works.
2. Press MODE until the Mode indicator of the device
(CABLE/SAT, VCR, DVD, AUDIO1, AUDIO2) lights up.
3. While holding down RECALL, press the Number buttons to
enter the four-digit code for your device.
If the correct code is entered, the mode indicator will blink twice.
If an incorrect code is entered, there will be one long blink.
4. Point the remote control at the device and press POWER to test
the code.
If the device responds to the remote control, you have entered the
correct code.
If the device does not respond, you may have entered the wrong
code. Repeat steps 3 and 4 using another code.
5. To control the TV, press MODE to select TV.
Searching and sampling the code of a device (991)
If you do not know the device code for a particular device, you can
cycle the remote control through the available codes for that device
mode, and sample various function buttons to find the code that
enables the remote control to operate the target device. The keys
available to be sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode, are
0, 1, 2, 3, POWER, VOL
y
, CH
y
, PLAY, and STOP. Invalid keys
will be ignored while in program mode.
To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:
1. Press MODE to select the mode you want to set up.
2. While holding down RECALL, press 9, 9, 1. The remote control
will enter program mode.
3. Point the remote control at the target device, and then press
POWER (or other function buttons that are available to be
sampled).
4. If the device responds to the remote control:
Press RECALL to store the device code. The mode indicator
will blink twice, and the remote control will exit program
mode.
If the device does not respond to the remote control:
Press MENU
y
, and then press POWER. Repeat this step
until the device responds to the remote control, and then press
RECALL.
Note:
When the search cycle is done, the mode indicator will blink three times.
The remote control will begin to cycle through the available codes again.
If no key is pressed within 10 seconds while programming, the remote
control will exit the program mode and return to the previous code.

RECALL
Note:
• Each time you replace the batteries, you
must reprogram the remote control.
• Some newer VCRs are capable of working
on either of two remote codes. These VCRs
have a switch labeled “VCR1/VCR2.”
If your VCR has this kind of switch and
does not respond to any of the codes for
your VCR brand, set the switch to the other
position (VCR1 or VCR2) and reprogram
the remote control.
